A festive lesson that studies the French Christmas song 'Petit Papa Noel' aimed at Y7 or Y8. You need to find the lyrics of the song and to print them for the students to do the activities. I make it a competition between groups. As a starter I put the video of the Bebe Lilly version to grab their attention and then show them other versions (including Tino Rossi´s, but there's another sang by Celine Dion and the Chipmunks!). They generally ask for Bebe Lilly again at the end. Have fun!

This is a set of cards to play Snap in French using Christmas vocabulary.
This game is recommended for 2-4 players.
Once the cards have been cut out, shuffle the pack of cards.
Deal the cards face-down, one at a time, starting with the person to the left of the dealer. The dealer continues to pass out the cards face-down in piles in front of each player until the last card is dealt. No players should look at their cards while they are being dealt.
Begin play with the player to the left of the dealer. The first person picks up the card at the top of his/her face-down pile. The card must be turned over very quickly so that he/she cannot see it before anyone else. Then, the card is laid down face-up in a new pile next to the face-down pile. Continue clockwise around the table. Call ‘Paire’ when two of the same cards appear face-up. The person calling ‘Paire’ does not have to be the person turning over the card. The player who successfully calls ‘Paire’ gets to take all the dealt cards so far and add them to the bottom of their pile. Resume play with the person to the left of the last person who flipped over a card.
The winner of the game is the player who wins all or the majority of the cards.
Snakes and Ladders game to practice French Christmas vocabulary.
I have included some counters that you can cut out or you could find your own counters. You will also need a di.
Rules of the game:
Roll the di and move that many spaces. If you land on the bottom of a ladder - go up to the ladder to the square it ends in and if you land on a snake’s head - go down to the square where the snake’s tail ends. If you land on a picture square - you have to say the name of the picture in French. If you cannot say the word in French, you have to go back to your previous square and play turns to the next player.
